The middle-aged man in green nodded slightly, his eyes kept on his hands, and said calmly: "Miss Ding is troubled by the dog. ∮"

Hearing this tone, the middle-aged man in green clothes was the magistrate of the Hanjiang Prefecture, Lord Zhang, the father of the second-year-old Master Zhang.

Although the Hanjiang Prefecture paid less than 100,000 stones of food, it was considered a Xiafu, but the prefect Zhang became a prefect at the age of his early forties. His fate was pretty good, and he still had a future if he worked hard.

However, no one expected that the dignified fourth-rank local official would come to Ding Ruyi for a secret talk today. Lord Zhang himself did not expect that his son would come here as well.

This is about to spread, saying that the Zhang family and his son entered the flower court together, and they might be arranged by boring people...

In fact, Mr. Zhang was still embarrassed when he heard and witnessed his son so superficial. However, Mr. Zhang was well-educated and a little embarrassment was not shown on his face, and he still looked as usual.

Although Ding Ruyi complained about Mr. Zhang in his heart, she still smiled and said, "Young Master after all, I am young. Who is not young and frivolous in the world? When he grows up, he will naturally calm down and will no longer be so impetuous."

She is just a 28-year-old girl, about the same age as Mr. Zhang, but her tone is like an elder, and when she thinks about it, she can't help but make people laugh.

However, Lord Zhang didn't find it funny. He felt sad and sighed softly. He couldn't even protect his wife and his son from being unworthy. Such a son always makes people feel a headache, and he feels pitiful to parents all over the world!

My son is already like this, and it is useless to think too much. Prefect Zhang put aside his mind and talked about the serious matter: "Although Miss Ding is an envoy of the Dragon Palace, it is inconvenient to disclose her identity, so she can only meet in this way."

Ding Ruyi was as a courtesan, and as long as the prefect Zhang still cared about the comments of Shilin, she would never see her publicly. But yesterday, Ding Huakui suddenly asked for a meeting with the token of the Dragon Palace. The prefect Zhang thought about it over and over again, but in the end he would rather condescend to the confinement of himself than summon Ding Ruyi in the government office.

Lord Zhang was not very satisfied, but he was very cunning and only pointed it out in his words.

Ding Ruyi also knew that the matter was not done well, so she quickly asked softly, "I would like to ask the prefect to do it. I came to Hanjiang Prefecture this time for a private matter, so I dare not disturb you. I just had to ask for help from you because of an accident."

She went to Hanjiang Mansion and did not disturb the idea of ​​prefect Zhang, but this time, in order to get the wheel bead from Ye Xingyuan, she had to call out the name of the Dragon Palace and ask for the prefect.

Ding Ruyi said this too directly, which made it difficult for the prefect Zhang, who was used to being accustomed to being accustomed to the official, and said lightly: "Miss Ding has a relative of the Dragon Palace in the Han River. What can I do if I can't do it?"

At this point, the prefect Zhang could certainly guess what Ding Ruyi wanted. There were not many things in the Hanjiang Mansion that could be hidden from him. The conflict between Dragon Palace and Ye Xingyuan had long been heard, but he did not want to interfere.

Ye Xingyuan's reputation shocked the Han River, and the prefect Zhang admired him quite well. Such a talented man had endless potential and might be able to achieve success in his next subject. However, appreciation is appreciation, and potential is potential. Prefect Zhang still did not intend to stand out for Ye Xingyuan. Ye Xingyuan was not yet at the level that deserved the care of the prefect Zhang himself.

As for the Dragon Palace, the Han River Dragon Palace is not far away from the city, but belongs to the Shinto and is not directly under the jurisdiction of the Prime Minister Zhang. There is no secret relationship between the two sides.

As long as the Dragon Palace does not cause much trouble, the prefect Zhang can turn a blind eye, but he will not take the initiative to help and reduce his identity. Now Ding Ruyi suddenly asks for help, and he is just an old god, so he doesn't agree.

Another fox is unsparing. Ye Xingyuan is like this, Zhang is like this, Ding Ruyi curses in her heart. She has a noble status and a beautiful person. She will always meet her requests in the country of Nanyue, but she is tied up in the Hanjiang Prefecture.

Just think it was a training of life! Ding Ruyi had to patiently say, "Your Madam is sitting upright in the court, but you can clearly observe the end of your life. I think you have already learned about the trivial things you encountered in the Dragon Palace these days.

The Dragon Palace lost its treasure, and the grandfather was anxious and worried about the reproduction and resumption of the aquatic race, so he was bedridden. I am here today, just to seek justice."

How could the Dragon King of Han River fall ill because of anxiety? This woman's speech is too frivolous and exaggerated! The prefect Zhang was displeased and frowned and said, "I heard that Ye Xingyuan said that the wheel bead has been destroyed, but he has promised to compensate for the treasure of equivalent quality? He is willing to take responsibility and take care of his identity as a child. Why can't he agree?"

Scholars have their own dignity. As long as Ye Xingyuan apologizes sincerely and is willing to bear the consequences, even if the prefect Zhang sits on the side of the Dragon Palace, he will not use public means to force Ye Xingyuan, and it is even more unlikely to be punished. Otherwise, the criticism of the scholar-in-law will make him anxious.

Unless the commitment period is over, Ye Xingyuan cannot provide the promised compensation, or he may request the court to dismiss the fame and fortune before decriminating the crime.

Ding Ruyi was not surprised that Master Zhang knew the truth, and smiled and said, "Although the reason is like this, how can I bear the feelings? I just can't swallow this."

That's why the Dragon Palace sent a patrolman He Yasha to the scene regardless of disturbing the people, and wanted to kill Ye Xingyuan on the spot. Such things can be done indescribable, and the prefect Zhang did not know how to interfere.

Ding Ruyi observed his expression and said, "Ye Xingyuan is a man who is proud of his talent. My meaning is to make him unable to pass the examination. Maybe he can teach a lesson..."

Prefect Zhang lowered his head and read the book, as if he turned a deaf ear. The imperial examination was a major event in the court. The prefect of the dynasty could never hear such bold remarks, at least before Ding Ruyi finished speaking, he would never hear them.

His request has already been explained. Ding Ruyi certainly knew that the prefect Zhang would not be suddenly deaf, and he was not in a hurry, and would not beg again. He only changed the topic, "The Han River moved from Xichuan Gorge to Dingxia. This section of the river was narrow and suddenly twisted and turned, so the water flowed fast and there were reefs everywhere. Not only was it inconvenient to sail, but it was often difficult, but the water wasted due to the steep mountains and forests.

In the past, the prefect spent decades of hard work to lead the Han River from Xichuan Gorge to the south, cross the west of the Han River Prefecture, irrigate thousands of miles of fertile land, and obtain tens of millions of fertile land. Do you know this allusion?"

The prefect Zhang raised his head and said solemnly: "The great merits of the Hanxi Canal have been nurtured for hundreds of years. How can I not know about this? It's just that the Hanxi Canal has been silted for a long time. Although our government is willing to dig it up again, it is afraid that the people will suffer money and are ridiculed by people at that time, so I can't make up my mind."

It’s not a problem of waste of money, but a worry that it took too long to spend time. The previous generation planted trees and later took advantage of the cool air. In the end, it was in vain, but it made political achievements for the next officer? Ding Ruyi laughed in her heart. She was able to understand the psychology of these officials.

The initiative of dialogue was back in his hands, and Ding Ruyi smiled and said, "For the sake of his descendants, the Dragon Palace of the Han River is willing to store water from the five lakes and rush out some of the silt areas of the western Han canal. Although it cannot return to the grand occasion of the past, it can at least irrigate the two sides of the straits and comfort the people's livelihood."

Prefect Zhang was finally moved. Who has never had the idea of ​​this Hanxiqu? If the Hanxiqu can be successfully excavated, even if it is only half of the size of that year, it would be enough to become a famous minister throughout the ages, and be famous in history and incorporated into the local wise temple!

But this project is really huge, and it is not just a matter of Hanjiang Prefecture. It takes time and long. Whenever it is discussed, it ends in no time.

Previously, some people also considered asking the Dragon Palace for help, and used the Han River water to clear out some silt. However, the Dragon Palace has always stated that the water flow has its own judgment and should not be rude and shirked. Unexpectedly, the Han River Dragon Palace took the initiative to propose this condition today, so how could the prefect Zhang refuse?

"Since that's the case, my mansion will thank the Dragon King for his kindness for the people of Hanjiang River." Prefect Zhang stood up, bowed to the river outside the window, and then left. From beginning to end, there was no mention of Ye Xingyuan's trial.

Ding Ruyi smiled.

Before Enke arrived, the rain was abundant in the upper reaches of the Han River Prefecture, and the water level of the Han River continued to rise. Some gentry worried about whether there would be floods. They asked the prefect for instructions, but they received no worries. Ye Xingyuan was dedicated to preparing for the exam and did not care about it. He just kept raining for days and had to light up the lights during the day.

The days passed quickly in Zhou's house these two months. Ye Xingyuan was a child student in the palace. The government society registered for the examination on his behalf, so he didn't have to worry about it. He only waited until the day of the examination, but Miss Ouyang and Niang Mo protected him and sent him to the entrance of the examination room.

In terms of knowledge and spiritual power, Ye Xingyuan asked himself that he had prepared enough and dealing with the examination at the provincial examination level was no problem. What he had to worry about was nothing more than various means of injuring people by hidden arrows. This took him a lot of effort to prepare carefully, and he believed that he was fully armed and had no flaws.

The inspection of the government test was a bit stricter than the county test. Outside the gantry gate of the test institute, the children taking the test lined up and passed the door one by one to avoid entrainment and fraud. The gatekeeper was extremely cautious and asked the candidates to remove their outer robes and search their bodies if they had any doubts.

"When the imperial examination is under the protection of the royal destiny, no matter how bold the Dragon Palace is, it will never hit the imperial examination room. As long as I enter the Longmen, you don't have to worry." Ye Xingyuan smiled and comforted Madam Mo and Ouyang Ziyu.

Whenever there is any disturbance in the past two months, they will be nervous, fearing that the Dragon Palace will take action again, and they will finally be able to survive today.

Madam Mo nodded and said, "It is easy to hide from the open spear, but it is difficult to defend against the hidden arrows. We are outside the dragon gate. You have to be careful when you see that the words were snorted first, and looked up at the sky.

Ye Xingyuan walked through the dragon gate and consciously stayed in front of the inspector's clerk. He first lifted the exam basket, took out everything and placed it on the table, then untied his coat, stood there leisurely in his small clothes, without the distorted expressions of the candidates before.

It’s not naked, so what’s worth twisting? Ye Xingyuan thought calmly. From the modern society of the twenty-one world, of course he wouldn’t be so mean to wear vests and shorts in broad daylight. Isn’t summer dressing like this?
